Hat I did the Modern Motorsports coilovers with new struts. This is the only way to go. Ross is quick to answer any questions and the parts are top quality. Click on my avatar and check out the pictures on yahoo. Sorry there are a lot of misc. pics in there Mike

Welcome to the forum. I have the ZZ4 with a 700r4. For headers I used Hooker blockhuggers for D-port angled plugs # 2100 (I think). The steering shaft clears the header by about 3/8 of an inch. Dist. 1/2 inch from firewall and I did not use the JTR spacers under the crossmember . Check out the pics in the WWW below. Good luck on your project Mike

This might help some of you.I have the Precision door weatherstripping I pulled back the precision stuff on the bottom only and to my surprise the door closed great. I put a piece of the mc master-carr gasket on the bottom and the door still worked great. The problem could be in the angle of the inner and outer rocker panel flange. I have not had time to go any farther on this. Good luck Mike

very nice I hope mine turns out that good. Mike

That car was just in milwaukee for the rod and custom show on Jan. 11 Personally I think the model that was with the car at the show had more to offer than the car. OO Mike

You beat me to it Matt I was going to say the same thing about the anti-seize. Once I cut mine in the center I was able to push them out with a press.

Mike I have a bracket drawing in my files for sentra calipers on the z. The dimensions are 3.400" front to back, 2.360" up & down and the hole is 3.225". Hope this helps. I spent quite alot of time in your town my daughter was at the air base their for three years. Mike

My fan came out of a lincoln. It looks just like the Taurus and Sable fan and has the three wires. Sorry I don't know what years. Also look for Mustang GT fans. Mike

Thanks for the info guys Mike

Anyone know of a source for 70-73 clear turn signal lenses. Motorsport Auto said their vendor stopped making these. Mike

HEY MATT TRY ZBARN.COM THEY SHOW FRONTS OR REARS IN STOCK FOR $75.00 Did you get around to installing the coilovers on the other three struts? Mike

I have a r200 & cv shafts but I will wait until the car is on the road. hope to have it ready by next spring.I will keep your number and watch the forum to see when you are done with the coils.I saw your wheel pics awhile back they are sharp looking. MikeS

HEY MATT BE CAREFULL WITH THAT CARTRIDGE. I THINK I AM ONLY A FEW MILES WEST OF YOU IN WAUKESHA. IF YOU NEED A TORCH I HAVE ONE YOU CAN USE. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE YOUR COILOVER WHEN YOUR DONE. MikeS

sentra do a search on the web for zz4 lots of stuff out their. 355HP@5250 RPM 405 FT LBS OF TORQUE @3500 RPM $3600.00. HEY DAVE & PETE THANKS PETE DID YOU WORK OUT THE PROBLEM WITH THE SNUBBER YET? MikeS

The engine is a ZZ4 350. I don't no how well a big block fits,but bigger is not always better. MikeS

Here is a link to my pics. Some are of the engine and 700r4 install. http://photos.yahoo.com/ironmike2323 From the time I picked up the engine until it was bolted in place, 30 min. by myself. Mike

Pete Is there some way to retain the stock mount when using the snubber? How about raising just the area in the snubber bracket where the mount is attached? I know this changes the diff angles again. Let me know if you need something made. MikeS

Thanks for the link Pete,I will see what I can do about getting some of these made. Mike

HEY JAY If we can get a drawing I can make some. I work in a sheetmetal shop. Mike

Has anybody tried using the Corvette c5 97 and up style mirrors. The base is wider than the z mirror base. I have been considering these for my car, but making the proper adapter might be too much work. Any help on these or other mirrors that mount to the door would be very helpfull. Thanks

I have had good luck with spray on cold galvanizing compound. It's 5 to 7 bucks a can, color is lite flat gray. this can also be used as a weld thru primer.

Thanks Pete I may have to make something like you did. Little things like pinion adapters that don't fit is what makes building one of these cars interesting. RIGHT? Thanks everyone Mike

I checked my JTR book. They say to switch the pinion 2 inch flange with the 2.25, but they do not say anything about the larger spline diameter that i have on my diff.They only offer one adapter in my book seventh printing June of 1998.I will give them a call on Tuesday to see if they have another adapter. Any other ideas? Thanks MIKE
